In Heaven, every BOSS in the wild was tainted by players’ blood, showing off a morbid honor.
A wild BOSS had paramount honor. As the elite in the Heaven world and royals of the fighting ranks, they were prepared to fight countless players in the most terrifying way possible.
Chu You dared to single-handedly challenge the two-star elite leader because of his magic-resistant value. He had 13 points of magic-resistance, which was the highest in early game. This was because equipment with magic resistance added on was exclusive to professions above Level 20. Not only that, but the equipment had to be at least of Red Vessel Level.
Attaining magic-resistant equipment was especially difficult, so this attribute was particularly rare.
Magic resistance reduced the impact of attacks dealt by wizard-type monsters. Especially for wizard-type players, high magic resistance might even result in a ‘defense’ effect, unless the opponent was also a wizard-type player with a similarly high magic critical hit value.
Despite all these reasons, they were not enough to justify fighting a wild BOSS single-handedly. Especially when the levels were about identical, fighting a wild BOSS one on one was as good as asking to die.
However, what Chu You had was a robust confidence that revived players had.
His attitude should be placed higher, even higher!
His posture should be haughty. If possible, he should then be as haughty as he can!
When most players were still toiling to reach Level 3, Chu You, with an arrogant and crazed attitude, walked towards the first major wild BOSS in Heaven!
The Thousand Grave Witch gradually raised her head and looked at Chu You through pupils that were devoid of humanity. Under her watch, Chu You, tall and slender, walked steadily towards her throne.
Half of her face was covered with scales, while the other half looked child-like, innocent and delicate.
A forked tongue, that of a snake’s, flicked out from her mouth. It was thick and substantial.
The corners of her mouth curved upwards slightly, revealing a hint of the green fangs within her mouth. Her expression gradually became hideous.
She seemed like she was smiling?
An indescribable feeling surged within Chu You. He really felt like the wild BOSS had smiled at him.
The thick snake body began moving in an instant. The Thousand Grave Witch charged to a distance of 20 meters away from Chu You, before firing a magic ball of light towards Chu You with her staff.
The battle had begun!
The light ball moved quickly, but Chu You was already concentrating and ready to move his entire body.
Chu You furrowed his brows and dashed aside, escaping the attack.
At this time, the Thousand Grave Witch once again fired a magic light ball.
1.5 seconds! Chu You had calculated that her interval of time between attacks was 1.5 seconds.
After dodging another attacking light ball, Chu You enabled running mode and approached his target rapidly, moving in an ‘S’ pattern.
Both of them were soon within 10 meters of one another!
Chu You calculated his time accurately. When he felt like the Thousand Grave Witch was about to attack, his body was already in a state of readiness. When the opponent looked like she was about to attack again, Chu You would immediately step aside and utilize his ‘Execution’ ability simultaneously.
A damage of -200 health points appeared. After dodging just now, Chu You was beside his opponent. He swung his knife at her.
-37 damage, that was too low! Chu You’s attack was supposed to be 77.
The Thousand Grave Witch furrowed her brows and was serious all of a sudden. She closed her eyes and slightly lifted her head. A skill status bar appeared.
Oh my, she was able to use her special skills before she lost too many health points. That was a trait of a wild BOSS.
The question was…what was that skill?
Chu You saw it clearly in an instant, and immediately made his judgment.
3 seconds! That skill needed 3 seconds to charge, before it could be used.
Chu You ran sideways hastily, as the magical name of that skill was Death Slumber!
This was obviously a control type magic. Once controlled, the consequences were unimaginable.
Within 3 seconds, Chu You was 20 meters away from his opponent. Especially with that leap in the last second, Chu You further increased his distance from the opponent.
However, that was of no use at all…
This was because Chu You’s body stopped moving. Above his head was a sleeping incantation, and he was completely under control!
Chu You was panic-stricken – this was a no-difference, no-blind spot, no-distance long-range magic!
Glancing at the control time, he realized that he needed 30 seconds for the controlled state to be lifted automatically.
Just then, Chu You saw the Thousand Grave Witch use her magic skill once again.
Large amounts of green light concentrated in her staff. The Thousand Grave Witch raised her staff in the air with her hands before looking up into the blinding light. She muttered incantations to herself.
The air around seemed to show traces of the flow of energy. Obviously, the skill was extremely powerful!
8 seconds, this magic skill required 8 seconds to charge. Chu You had no choice but to helplessly watch his opponent use her skill.
The Heart Bite of Ten Thousand Snakes!
With the Thousand Grave Witch in the center, a green light exploded violently and expanded outwards rapidly…
Long-range attack magic!
One of the rays of green light charged at Chu You fiercely. He even vaguely saw the image of a snake’s head within the beam of light.
No choice; he could only take the damage.
The lightning-speed green light ray struck Chu You’s heart terribly!
Pong! -566 damage appeared.
Chu You’s health points decreased instantly by more than half, and he had only 234 health points left. At the same time, as he received an attack, his controlled state was lifted.
But, but…!
Chu You’s upper garment, that tattered breastplate armor, was destroyed!
How was that allowed? How was it possible?
Heaven not only dropped player equipment, but could also destroy player equipment!
Usually, the destruction of player equipment only happened when the player equipment was at low or zero durability. And this was only when receiving a strong attack with high damage on a critical part of the player’s body. Only under these circumstances would there be a certain possibility of destroying player equipment.
However, that would only happen after changing professions. This was because only equipment from Level 10 and above would have durability characteristics. When the durability became zero, the equipment would lose its special characteristics.
Equipment of Level 10 and below had no durability characteristics, so by right, this should not have happened.
However, it had happened nonetheless. Chu You stared at his naked upper body in shock. There was no way he had anticipated this happening.
Your physical defense: -3!
Damn! Chu You, now naked from the torso upwards, quickly took out a vial of micro-healing potion and gulped it down.
The two magic skills just now would have killed a hundred other players.
Chu You had magic resistance traits, yet he still took a terrifying -566 points of damage, not to mention other players.
After using this magic skill and failing to kill Chu You, the Thousand Grave Witch approached to a distance of 20 meters from Chu You expressionlessly and began to deliver ordinary attacks.
As Chu You dodged the attacks, he maintained the increase in his health points. At the same time, he noticed that his execution skill was almost charged. He used his observation skills to look for his path forward. After approaching his opponent again, Chu You swung his sword towards her.
-34. Even lower damage this time.
After grasping the attack interval of his opponent, Chu You made use of the movement speed and movement path of her normal attack, the magic ball. Chu You managed to accomplish a close-quarters combat strategy of medium-hard level, which was impossible for ordinary people. As long as this opponent did not use special skills, Chu You would be able to use this strategy to slowly exhaust this wild BOSS to death.
Not long afterwards, Chu You managed to use the potion to increase his health points by 80 points. His health points were now at 314, so he quickly drank another vial of the potion. There were only 6 vials left now.
The scenario now was of a tall, slender player waving around a pure white sword, slashing at a two-meter-tall monster. Light balls, one after another, were fired past Chu You and missed him by inches. The scene suddenly took on a visually striking air, as though they were dancing.
Unfortunately, Chu You’s attack speed limited the speed at which he could swing his sword. Usually, the Thousand Grave Witch was able to attack twice, before Chu You could attack once.
When Chu You used his execution skill against the BOSS once again, a damage of -200 health points appeared above her head.
“Ho!”
The Thousand Grave Witch let out a growl and closed her eyes, unleashing her Death Slumber skill once again!
Another time? Chu You panicked. A glance at his health points made him realize that if she attacked again, there was no doubt he’d die.
What to do?
3 seconds of time in battle wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t a short time either. A wild BOSS would never give players any hopes of surviving.
However, there were moments where inspiration struck.
Looking at the smoky, glowing liquid, Chu You felt like he found the way to counter his opponent.
Once again enabling running mode, Chu You sped towards that pool of liquid. Using the speed boost that his warrior body type gave him, Chu You was on top of the liquid in a second.
“Tsss…”
Chu You’s health points fell by -10.
At this point, the Thousand Grave Witch also unleashed her magic skill. Chu You was put into a sleeping state immediately, and couldn’t be moved.
The cave started vibrating at this moment. Large amounts of energy concentrated in the Thousand Grave Witch’s staff, as she charged her range killing magic once again.
After 3 seconds, Chu You’s body took -10 of damage. The control of his body was lifted immediately.
After regaining movement, Chu You moved backward relentlessly and stayed far away from his opponent. This way, when his opponent dealt her attack, Chu You would be able to anticipate it.
The Heart Bite of Ten Thousand Snakes!
Boom!
A huge explosion rang out. Green light once again expanded rapidly, with a massive range.
Chu You quickly lay flat on the ground. The deadly magic skill flashed past his head.
After unleashing her skill, the Thousand Grave Witch slithered rapidly towards Chu You, stopping 18 meters away from him to begin her ordinary attack.
Following the experience gained from previous battles, Chu You started to counterattack.
The health points of the Thousand Grave Witch decreased consistently. At this time, Chu You’s Execution skill was charged, but his magic points had not reached 100, so he could not use the skill.
But no matter. With this strategy, he could exhaust his opponent to death.
-120. Chu You made a careless mistake, as his opponent’s normal attack hit his body. His health points maintained at 310.
If Chu You was attacked three more times, he would die. 1.5 seconds of attack interval time was very fast for normal players, leaving them no time to counterattack. They would have to be constantly dodging the attacks, as any error would lead to them being hit by the attack.
Chu You was in a state of constant concentration. He made a mistake once, but he could not make a mistake a second time. He had to steady himself, control his form and take advantage of every fleeting opportunity to strike back.
To be able to do what Chu You was able to do, one would have to practice in-game for a few years to attain that level of combat technique.
Gradually, Chu You was completely in control of the Thousand Grave Witch’s attack pattern. Every time the death slumber appeared, Chu You would immediately appear on the liquid, so that the toxic gases would lift the control on his body. He would then carefully counter the incoming Heart Bite of Ten Thousand Snakes, before swinging his sword at close range to reduce his opponent’s health points.
As time passed, the Thousand Grave Witch was beginning to panic. She didn’t have many health points left.
On the other hand, Chu You was close to max health now.
Knowing well that she had not much time left, the Thousand Grave Witch changed her usual mode of battle. She wrapped her snake body around Chu You, who was just before her.
Chu You completely did not expect this from his opponent. He was bound tightly, and could feel the cold, slimy texture of the snake body.
The Thousand Grave Witch bared her fangs and closed her jaw on his left shoulder. Chu You felt a light prickly pain.
Chu You turned his head and realized that his opponent was looking at him too. It was just that the Thousand Grave Witch had no life in her eyes. Their eyes met extremely close to one another.
-40, -40, Chu You’s health points dropped rapidly. What surprised him was that his opponent’s health points were increasing by +80, +80 constantly.
This was horrible. Chu You almost puked blood.
After five continuous drops in health points, the Thousand Grave Witch released her jaw and let go of him.
“Your… blood… really tasty…”
His opponent was talking! That child-like half of her face seemed to display an expression of contentment, before unleashing her attack again.
Chu You furiously and strategically dodged her attacks. He knew that his opponent was at the brink of death.
As expected, when the health points of his opponent fell to the same level again, she did not use the same skill to recover her health points.
“Execution”
Excitedly, Chu You delivered the final fatal attack. The Thousand Grave Witch, whose health level was at 294/3000, was killed instantly.
At his opponent’s moment of death, a few items dropped from her body. One of them, with a red glow, jumped out. Chu You’s heart leaped violently when he saw the item ‘dancing’ in the air like a red star.
